It's 2010 and I've recently stumbled upon a currently active and circulating malicious and fraudulent porfolio of fake security software also known as scareware potentially enticing hundreds of thousands of users to a multi-tude of malicious software with the cybercriminals behind the campaign potentially earning fraudulent revenue in the process of monetizing access to malware-infected hosts largely relying on the utilization of an affiliate network-based type of revenue sharing scheme.
